Swiftcurrent Creek A new hope [IC Joining]

Bazi spotted Jace only moments after the howl reached her ears. She finished the patch of fur she was presently working on, and jogged to catch up with her pack-mate.

The wolf that had summoned her was waiting obediently at the line that separated Swiftcurrent proper from what was technically 'neutral' territory, but the wolves of the Creek were more possessive than that. Duck Lake in particular was a hotly contested area, and Bazi was twitchy about strangers in Wapun Meadow, too.

This wolf was even smaller than the diminutive Beta, and utterly dwarfed by Jace. She was white and blue-eyed like Bazi and Sky, and it made the former wonder if the entirety of the north was migrating through the Teekon Wilds. Perhaps the sickness had spread further, beyond her own pack.

Channeling Fox's no-nonsense approach to border meets, Bazi nudged the dark Gamma's shoulder and strode into the stranger's personal space with head and tail held high, sniffing curiously at her face and ears. There was no hint of wrong in her scent - only wolf. Satisfied with that, Bazi stepped back beside Jace and fixed Alyss with a curious stare. "More importantly, what can you do for us? I need a few extra scouts."
